* HalfHumanHybrid: He's a halfbreed, and protecting him is what kickstarts the plot.
* HealingMagicIsTheHardest: Is one of only ''two'' known healers, with the Empress of the Skyborn being the other. Corwin's presence is a major reason for the group's eventual success.



[[folder:Qua' Lon]]

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: He's pretty unexpected considering you've been told Chaska's the [[LastOfHisKind last of the fey]] beforehand, which turns out to be untrue.
* ICannotSelfTerminate: Says he's been kept here for too long to just be freed from the Celestial Nexus, he'll probably attack the party soon, and only asks for peace by the sword.

* FightingYourFriend: [[spoiler:She fights with Dhacian the first time you face him, finding herself unable to kill him again. Conversely, she ends up doing this later when she stays with the party to fight Dhacian for the last time.]]

* OverratedAndUnderleveled: Averted; when she joins your party, she's a higher level than many of the members already there.

be. She leans physical as compared to magic, her spells mostly useful for the status effects they inflict; she has the game's most powerful physical attack, and will generally do the single biggest hits (though [[MightyGlacier very slowly]].)
* MyGreatestFailure: Killing her best friend, Ryler, because she was ordered to do so. [[spoiler: An act that comes back to bite ''everyone'' in the ass when Ryler turns out to be the first name of Dhacian.]]
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Subverted. While most Skyborn are militaristic jingoists, Alda is defined by the fact that she ''isn't''; she was interested in history, and had stumbled upon rare mentions of a "third race" that caused her more knowledgeable superiors to panic. She's out hunting the truth in the Nordenwald when the party finds her, and stays with them despite Sullivan's open prejudice and her ''own'' prejudice against halfbreeds because she's already learned more in a few days of travel with them than she had in what's implied to be ''years'' on her own.

* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:After defeating him in the CelestialNexus, he implicitly refuses to be healed by Corwin and drops off a ledge.]]

to:

* AmbitionIsEvil: At game's start, Dhacian is a subordinate of a prison warden, but sees an opportunity to get ahead using Claret. He's totally correct; by the time the game is beginning to reach its end, the stunts he pulls have let him rise so high in the ranks that he's hobnobbing with the Empress herself.
* BigBad: Dhacian is the game's main villain. While he works for the [[GreaterScopeVillain Empress of the Skyborn]], at day's end, it is Dhacian who has it out for the protagonists the most.

* NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler:Chaska says he can't sense him in the Celestial Nexus, but a cloaked man saying he knew the Empress when he was young and loved her is seen in the ending...]]

fashion. Dhacian leans a bit more magical than Alda does.
* MagnificentBastard: Manages one impressive act. He captures Jake, and tells Claret he will set him free... [[SadisticChoice if she tells him where the Rebels are.]] Claret decides she can't do that, and has a different plan to save Jake... [[spoiler: and it's totally meaningless, because Dhacian ''knew'' Claret would never betray the rebels. Instead, he just follows her, knowing she'll lead him where he wants to go- and she ''does'', letting Dhacian kill the rebels ''and'' murder the peaceful folk of the HiddenElfVillage, getting him that promotion he wanted!]]

* StartOfDarkness: [[spoiler: Alda nearly killing him at the end of their trial run.]] Dhacian actually specifically thanks her for doing this when they meet again, since it freed him from the "delusion" that other people mattered, and let him realize that the only thing that was real was using people as tools.
* VillainsNeverLie: Actually does free Jake despite how Claret never actually reported anything to him about the rebellion... and he then since, after all, following Claret led him to the Rebels anyway. Then tells Shynn to kill the party.

* TragicMonster: Qua'Lon doesn't ''want'' to devour the halfbreed souls he's fed, but his nature requires him to do so. Anyone tossed into his dimension will get eaten. Doing this sickens him, but he's helpless to stop it, which is why he's begging you to kill him.

* GlassCannon: She can dish out some good damages with her guns and her napalm, but she's not very durable so it's best to let someone else take the monsters' aggro.
* TheGunslinger: She fights using nail guns and rifles.
* HotBlooded: Rather. Her response to two fully-armored Skyborn warriors beating up Corwin is to toss stuff at them and yell at them to get out. She later fights them and expresses no misgivings when their officer comes and breaks it up, even when the player would have been just totally losing the fight... and she immediately steals an airship to leave after being put into an ArrangedMarriage (though she reasons the money she gave back is about fair trade for taking it).
* IrrationalHatred: Claret starts out seriously disliking Sullivan, which only gets worse when her brother announces that he's brokered her an ArrangedMarriage with him. However, the only thing she really knows about him by this point is that he's a bad pilot who takes terrible care of his airship - something that [[RichInDollarsPoorInSense he definitely couldn't get away with if were he much poorer]]. She gets better about it after she finds out he's leading a rebellion to help the half-breeds who are literally being tortured by the Skyborn.

* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Claret is the Responsible to Jake's Foolish, starting from the fact that, unlike [[DistressedDude her brother]], Claret can actually fight for the causes she believes in, and she's the main moneymaker for the Spencer workshop by virtue of being their only mechanic. [[spoiler: Towards the game's end, he even admits that he's done literally nothing to make their parents proud, unlike Claret.]]

Skyborn. On the other hand, she's mulch if the enemy decides to tear into her.
* TheGunslinger: She fights using nail guns and rifles.
what appear to be rivet based gatling guns, eventually upgrading to magnums and flamethrowers.
* TheHero: Is a SupportingProtagonist to Sullivan up until the Calidori Desert, where [[spoiler: she decides to join the Rebels full time and repairs the Prometheus Armor her parents left behind. Opposing Sullivan's poor decisions later further cements her as the story's true hero.]]

* JerkassToOne: Claret
is about fair trade for taking it).
* IrrationalHatred:
tremendously nice and understanding of most people... buuuut Claret starts out seriously disliking Sullivan, which only gets worse when her brother announces that he's brokered her an ArrangedMarriage with him. However, the only thing she really knows about mostly due to him by this point is that he's being a bad pilot who takes terrible care of his airship - pilot and nearly ruining the one she's working on, at least partly because it's something that [[RichInDollarsPoorInSense he definitely couldn't get away with if were he much poorer]]. She gets better Finding out her brother has unexpectedly sold her into an ArrangedMarriage she had no warning about it after she finds out he's leading a rebellion to help didn't help, either. She lightens up on him throughout the half-breeds who are literally being tortured by game, [[spoiler: though it comes back briefly when Sullivan, in an attempt to cross the Skyborn.MoralEventHorizon, makes a serious effort to kill every single Skyborn in New Skyrook.]]



* TooManyBelts: Downplayed, she's only wearing one belt around her waist and has one more superfluous belt draped on her shoulders which are fastened by six loops to her jacket.
* TragicKeepsake: [[spoiler:Her half-gear necklace turns out to be one from her mother.]]

to:

* PoweredArmor: Straddling the line between this and MiniMecha is [[spoiler: the Prometheus Armor, which Claret gets access to for the penultimate dungeon. It comes with free self-heals and a massive gun, and also total immunity to magic, making most encounters a joke while using it.]]
* SupportingProtagonist: For much of the early game, before she decides to really commit to the Rebel cause, which reveals that unlike [[FantasticRacism Sullivan]], she's capable of seeing Skyborn as people, making her much better at being a Rebel than he is.

* TheMatchmaker: He sets up an ArrangedMarriage for his sister and Sullivan as part of the contract for Sullivan to buy the shop. According to what he tells Claret, he had to negotiate strenuously to convince Sullivan to accept her as part of the deal. Claret is ''not'' happy about any of this.

to:

* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: He might be the manager at the Spencer shop, but it's clear from literally every conversation with him that Jake is effectively superfluous to the running of the store, with his only talent being that he lacks Claret's BrutalHonesty with customers. He can't fight, he offers no services of value at any point in the story, absolutely ''refuses'' to tell his sister the truth about literally anything unless he's forced to do so by circumstance, and ''gets all the rebels killed'' by getting captured, which put Claret in a position where Dhacian could trace her. Jake's presence literally ruins the cause he's part of. [[spoiler: At game's end, he even admits that he has done literally nothing to make his parents proud, unlike Claret.]]

* TheMillstone: Jake's work with the Rebels leads directly to all of them being killed.



* ArrangedMarriage: One of the bizarre parts of the early story is that Sullivan is technically Claret's fiance, an element that is rarely brought up after the opening. Sullivan expresses few views on the matter after the game's start.



* FantasticRacism: He hates the Skyborn for their oppression and kidnapping of the half-breed, leading him to be apprehensive to Alda in spite of how she jumped in to save the party's lives. He even momentarily considers having New Stormrook be destroyed in a magical explosion (which would definitely also kill himself, his friends and probably many other humans or half-breeds as well) to be worthwhile.
* LeeroyJenkins: Things could have turned out very differently if he didn't immediately kill the Empress when he dropped in while she was casting her spell.

The worst about him revealed by that point though was that he's a terrible pilot that [[RichInDollarsPoorInSense definitely couldn't get away with that were he much poorer]]. She gets better about it after she finds out he's leading a rebellion to help the half-breeds which are literally being tortured by the Skyborn.

out. She later fights them and expresses no misgivings when their officer comes up and breaks it up, even when the player would have been just totally losing the fight...and she immediately steals an airship to leave after being put into an ArrangedMarriage (though she reasons the money gave back is about fair trade for taking it).

* ParentalAbandonment: Her parents disappeared. [[spoiler:[[DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou Actually, they were killed while aiding rebels against the Skyborn]].]]
* TooManyBelts: Downplayed, she's only wearing one belt around her waist and has one more superfluous belt draped on her shoulders that are fastened by six loops to her jacket.

* WrenchWench: A mechanic by day.

* CannotSpitItOut: If Jake had told his sister their parents were killed acting as rebels against the Skyborn, the beginning of the game probably would have went a lot smoother.



* FantasticRacism: He hates the Skyborn. He even momentarily considered having New Stormrook be destroyed in a magical explosion (definitely killing himself and his friends and probably many other humans or half-breeds as well) to be worthwhile.

to:

* DrivesLikeCrazy: The damage he caused to his own ship pretty much disgusted Claret. With the ending showing he managed to not notice a mountain while piloting, the previously-mentioned damage probably isn't explained due to being from rebellion actions...
* FantasticRacism: He hates the Skyborn. Skyborn for their oppression and kidnapping of the half-breed, leading him to be apprehensive to Alda in spite of how she jumped in to save the party's lives. He even momentarily considered having New Stormrook be destroyed in a magical explosion (definitely killing himself and (which would definitely also kill himself, his friends and probably many other humans or half-breeds as well) to be worthwhile.



* ObfuscatingStupidity: He's a horrible pilot and even his dad thinks he spends a lot more time practicing his swordplay rather than using his head, but he actually runs a rebellion.

* RichIdiotWithNoDayJob
OverlyLongName: The credits say more for his name that doesn't get otherwise said in the game...it's Sullivan W.B.H. Chesterford IV which is thankfully never written out in full.
* RichIdiotWithNoDayJob: Seems like an pampered fop that just loves swordplay, is actually a rebel trying to bring down the Skyborn.

* {{Protectorate}}: It's pretty obvious the main reason Sullivan fights for the rebellion for his younger sister. [[spoiler:As it turns out, her father is developing magic-suppressing technology for a similar reason.]]



* CuteMonsterGirl:
* GenkiGirl: She qualifies, [[spoiler:especially when visiting the Skyborns' domain]].

to:

* CuteMonsterGirl:
CuteMonsterGirl: Looks like a little elf girl aside from a few spikes coming out of her shoulders and her right arm being a large gnarled one with claws.
* GenkiGirl: She qualifies, qualifies with her amazement at the new places she sees, [[spoiler:especially when visiting the Skyborns' domain]].
* IAmNotPretty: Downplayed, she never says this exactly, but it's clear shocked looks and remarks from seeing her arm get to her and she's overjoyed when Claret first sees her and describes her as just a little girl instead of something more derogatory.
* TheLastOfHisKind: [[spoiler:With the death of Qua'lon, she is the last of the Fey, though she guess perhaps one day another Fey will be born out of the earth's magic.]]
* PurpleProse: Downplayed; she occasionally gets a bit grandiloquent in her excitement (to which Corwin asks if she spent all of her time in the mines reading romance novels and huffing fumes) but she's not exactly [[{{Theatre/Hamlet}} Polonius]]. [[IAmNotPretty She says if she can't look pretty]], she can at least talk it.

* BlackMage: One path for his classes.
* InHarmsWay: Downplayed, he's let himself get beat up by Skyborn and risks going with Alda to the Celestial Palace because his healing magic lets him survive it.
* WhiteMage: The other path for his classes.



* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: He's pretty unexpected considering you're told Chaska's the [[LastOfHisKind last of the fey]].

* ICannotSelfTerminate: Says he's been kept here for too long to just be freed from the Celestial Nexus, he'll probably attack the party soon, and only asks for peace by the sword.
* PoweredByAForsakenChild: Is kept alive from how he automatically slowly siphons magic from beings in the Celestial Nexus.
* WalkingSpoiler: Nothing about him can be mentioned without talking about other major reveals prior in the game.

to:

* StatuesqueStunner
ActionGirl: She's introduced stepping in to save the party from a bunch of monsters ambushing them.
* AwesomeMomentOfCrowning: Is declared the Empress of the Skyborn by the game's end after she tells her people of their past and the reality of the half-breed kidnappings.
* FightingYourFriend: [[spoiler:She fights with Dhacian the first time you face him, finding herself unable to kill him again. Conversely, she ends up doing this later when she stays with the party to fight Dhacian for the last time.]]
* MagicKnight: As Skyborn tend to be.
* OverratedAndUnderleveled: Averted, she joins your party probably with a good bit more levels than them.
* WingedHumanoid: As Skyborn always are.
